What you'll do

This workshop provides a foundational understanding of the ways size-based discrimination, or Fatphobia, is reflected in our systems, in our media, and in our lives. People in larger bodies are disproportionately harmed by violence, bullying, and abuse, but are also systemically discriminated against in healthcare, justice, and the workplace. Less overtly, fatphobia shows up in more subtle, implicit ways in our attitudes, beliefs, and biases against people in larger bodies. 
 
Through a combination of education, personal reflection, and sharing, this workshop will help participants better understand Fatphobia, examine their own relationship to it,  and learn how to become better allies and stewards at work and in their communities. Whatever your body size, shape, or weight - we all benefit from this work.
 
This workshop includes: 
  • Review of key terms and language 
  • Understanding of implicit and explicit bias - our own and systemic
  • Thought-provoking personal reflection and discussion
  • Examples and statistics of how Fatphobia shows up in media, healthcare, and the workplace
  • Tangible examples of how to be a better ally at work and in our personal lives
 
Hosted By: This workshop is hosted by Priyanka Saju who is a writer, speaker, and facilitator on fatphobia and dismantling anti-fat discrimination. Priyanka is a body acceptance activist who is committed to creating a safer, more inclusive world for everyone - no matter their size.
